Casper Wilkens

I'm a protein chemist with expertise in structure-function
relationships of carbohydrate active enzymes, and their biochemical
and physicochemical properties.

I've worked with metagenome data that contained genes from most
of the CAZyme families, and I've worked in depth with enzymes from
GT5, GH10, GH16, GH62, GH67, GH115, GH120, CE1, CE15, CBM6, CBM20,
CBM48 and glucan phosphatases.

8. Searching for a surface biding site on a GH62
α-l-Arabinofuranosidase from Aspergillus nidulans
